How To Get The Most Taco Bell Calories For Your Money

Thanks to one good clever developer, you can now get the most
bang for your buck at Taco Bell.

Kunal Batra, a eeveloper evangelist at Sendgrid, revealed an
ingenious hack that lets you find out what you can order at Taco
Bell based on how much money you have in your pocket.

Say you're starving, but you only have $6 on you. Simply
email tacobell@sendmail.io with the number 6 in the subject
(no dollar sign). You will then receive a response that lists the
most caloric menu items you can order for $6.

The hack came out of this year's
TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon. Batra scraped the Taco Bell
website and used a python backend to put it all together and
create the hack.

This simple system could not only solve the ubiquitous problem of
munchies, but it actually could be an interesting service for
restaurants and other merchants. It saves us from having to do
any math and provides the most cost-efficient use of our money.

We decided to try it out for ourselves and send in an email, but
it took four hours to get a response. Granted the hack is in its
early phases, but probably not the most useful for an immediate
craving.
